SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE
Pawn your life, throw crushed cash at it
See if it goes away
On this sphere, if you're too much
There's something wrong with you
As the Sun goes down, if you're just floating by
I hope you aren't arrested
'Cause brighter days will come
Sometime in the future
What a guy, with his balance
He's got it all figured out
Bypassed all the junkies and sluts, took the high road
Mediocrity must be earned
You walk around, with the weight on the world on your shoulders
What if everything you wished for came true tonight
Blast off

OH, THE THROES
This is the first day of my entire life
Need to untangle cause I'm the Devil now
Don't let it define you, hope it's not too late
Oh, the throes of the Summer
Depression is all we feel, I'm apathetic
Don't forget to laugh
Don't be the victim, don't apologize
Flip a coin, put it on display
Spiraling and melting down, a town of desperation sound
A histrionic plea to opt out, obligatory runaway
Don't even try, don't even try
From these depths I no longer see the light

CONDESCENDING MAN
There's an angel in the alley, here come the vultures
They say destiny's a choice
You've the voice of an alarm clock
Hanger-on and sold
You know it's a hard sell, you've got your dream scenario
I do, I do, I do
And you paint those pretty ones and pine for the bad blood
And you take it way too far, I do, I do, I do
Now I don't care about your heart, how much money do you have
I think the power's out
Where's my backlash from the world, where's my condescending man
Emotionally void, neurotic and annoyed
I'll see you off, it's all too serious when you're near
It's not your fault, I'll see you next year

CHEESE CHECK
Already feel nostalgic for this moment
Let's bet it all, I'll get you back
Let's quit our jobs, let's tell 'em off
Let's take whatever they offer
Let's have a ball, off mortgaging your will
We're all figurines, get a load of yourself
Got your cheese check, time for recess
Out of our minds, using our heads, into our shtick
I find peace in causing problems
Out for revenge, this vacation has no consequence, no
Will we make it home by dawn
Set it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack it up, stack that shit

PERFECT SON
Social loud, but I have become something
A fix of confidence and class, an excerpt from this book
The flag was at half mast, when it first went up
Now it's losing color, I met my mother and she looks like me
I'm the perfect son, I'm the perfect son
I'm playing Jesus
All statement no question
So much of so little to talk about
A faceless entertainer, spilling guts to listless crowds
It's the reason that you know me, why you went away
I broke your spirit and turned you off
So I called a girl and met her at the market
It was Valentine's and she was selling souls
I used to root for carnage, I used to want control
There was a time when I would die for anyone who needed rope
Go and preach your nothings, go bully the weak
Smiling spineless through your translucent teeth
You're all statement, no question about it

DRAMA CLUB
I knew a kid who spent his days in genuine malaise
By design, he went bone dry broke
He went upstairs, lost it all, words he had to chew
By design, he had never seen the news
So long golden boy, I'll show it off at drama club
Be the all time penultimate clairvoyant, by design
Have you ever had to pretend you were someone else
By design, you were bottom of the barrel cool
I'll reinvent myself, play to the vibes, start new addictions
By design, I'll be your experiment
Dumb it down, where a crown
He worked overtime, in his thoughtless mind
He died

Where's The Urgency?

WHERE'S THE URGENCY?
Just another ride, given the times
If we all believed in karma, there's no doubt we'd all be fucked
It sure don't feel like Friday
Are you ever anywhere
There's a chance of rain, we all know that dog ain't gonna hunt
Where's the urgency?
Kill me now, or show me love
Thinkin' about tomorrow, same as yesterday
My face is to the mirror, did I waste another year
Dishes piled to the sky, half finished projects
I'll never be caught up, but it's okay 'cause if I did
I'd waste more time than I do now
Where's the urgency?
I'll go for weeks wearing a mask, the image of an also-ran
With a broken smile, I spent my life on the fence
Teach me resolve, I'm resigned to this

WHAT WAS I THINKING?
What was I thinking? Just woke up
Time for breakfast and my neighbor is cursing the jaywalking brother
Here comes bike guy, unassuming
What was I thinking, I need to work out
Who's the blond, where'd she go
I need someone who fucks like a celebrity
I'm so average, so I'll settle, I'll date a 6 and use my imagination
Suddenly they all want her, the super-bro exclaims, "I'd stab"
The walls are sweating, my bio clock's ticking
Everyone I know is shitting out kids
All I wanted was your mind
Everything I say is right

SLOW BURN
Look up, there are no far away nations
Look down, through rage and pain
We're so stuck, but you know
I'll see you in an hour
And of course I'll wait for you to fix your hair
It's hard to keep up the fight, I'm tired
Better learn to love 'cause this is a slow burn
Should've been at a rave tonight
Thank you for stopping me
Find the crowd that keeps you grounded
The singer swallows her microphone
Shoots auricle rainbows from her throne
Honors her youth like before we were liars
The fear of response keeps us in our yards
Only matters if you mean it, but you don't
Starve with me forever, fight for love dreamers will survive
Destination, destitution
Rain or shine we're always running late, we're always late
Should've been at a rave tonight thank you for stopping me
Never got the one I wanted, now I'm stuck with you
I don't think you're into me, I just think you're bored
I've only got a few bullets left and all I can smell is stale beer and cigarettes

GHOST THIEF
Clearly deceptive and past due
In cahoots and bound to spin loose
Strollin' felony flats on lawns of broken glass
Here come the witches for the panic
A blender of lights direct us to the pushpin mine fields of Eden
Stay for the sunburst morning your scars will follow suit
Tell some stories, tell me the unspeakable truth
I miss the nihilistic nights and calls, someone stole them
We will always have our day
Another best sell thriller hides
In the cellar, erasing minds
Teleport back to the coffee porno Goddess
You left your ghost waiting in the wings
Now I'm a fucking thief

BIG SKY
I came through to you
To find that you were blue
There were no silver linings
There was only doom
Under a big sky you're allowed to part the darkest sea
Overtime
Lend me your hand, I'll lend you my ears
Hardened hearts and shattered souls
Go find God or something, you seem lost
Our heads in the clouds as fools
We live it up, up, up

ALIEN ON A SOAPBOX
Plagiarized, another profiting prophet
For your sins, old men will rat you out
Rise and fall, rise and fall
Did you know women owe men sex, they better breed
We've got to reproduce to feed the church's greed
Alien on a soapbox, roofied us at mass
Shut it down, just let go, it's a show and you're right
You need direction, you needed something cool and alternative
'Cause you're burned and washed out
You don't die in a tomb, just as you were ascending in your faith
They closed their doors
Dressed like the sixth Ramone, rock star in tow with the swagger of Sabbath
He made the cold call crawl, up the sound to Nirvana
Kill the cancer, gender ender, good-bye
Talk down
Talk, talk
